Create a new font
Here is a sumarry of how to create a new font. All aspects
will be explained.
- Select "New..." from the File Menu. If you want
to make a normal font select Unicode. If you want to make
some symbols or signs or a signature, you would normally
select symbol.
- From the Menu select Glyph->Insert... For example
enter 30 to get a 30 new glyphs.
- For each new glyph edit it (double-click and select
simple). Either make new contours (from the menu
contour->New...) or import an image:
- From the menu, select contours->Import Image...
- Next: open a bmp file that contains the logo or character
and press generate.
- Add mappings to each glyph.
- Edit the Advance Width of each glyph (right
click->properties)
- Change the naming of the font (General->Name).
- Save the font file and test it. Satisfied? Then install
it!
